Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni shows that cricket is still a gentleman’s game. At the post-match presentation ceremony, Dhoni expresses his sympathies for Bangladesh team and offered a few consolatory words to Mahmudullah.

When India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni appreciates a player on his team, it means a lot to that player. But when the most successful India skipper takes notice of a player from the rivals' team and privately appreciates him, it means more than just an appreciation.

Bangladesh's never-experienced-before 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against India has so far been a masterstroke of Mustafizur Rahman. The 19-year-old left-arm pace bowler was the wrecker-in-chief in those two magnificent victories for the Tigers.

He may not be getting many chances to wield his bat lately, but Nasir Hossain, courtesy of his bowling improvement and his athleticism on the field, has become a vital cog in this Bangladesh's line-up.

The Bangladesh camp received their first bad news of the series as pacer Taskin Ahmed's injury issues resurfaced yesterday. The pacer, who took two crucial wickets in the first ODI, was diagnosed with a side strain. The diagnosis has hampered Taskin's chances of playing in the third and final ODI against India in Mirpur today.
